Post Alternatives to Zaino carwash

Anyone have recommendations for a car washing soap other than Zaino? I really like Zaino carwash but's its so expensive. I would never go to waxes but I wonder if there is a cheaper alternative for washing though ..

Z-7 is the cheapest product per bottle and per use, cheaper washes are just that cheaper and much thinner than Z-7. Z-7 contains Z-2, you do know that evey time you wash with Z-7 you polish with Z-2 also??better keep using it. My Z-7 bottle lasts 6 months between 2 cars.

Kevin is right, for the # of washes per $$, you can't beat Z7! One bottle lasts me almost 3/4 year between 2 vehicles also. Try that with any store bought soap, and you'll be buying much more frequently, thus more $$ spent. Plus, Z7 works with the Zaino system to improve shine while being gentle on the finish. But, if you must go with something else, I'd suggest a relatively high quality product i.e. Meguiar's...

Why use something inferior to try and save a few pennies. You must be serious about how your car looks, since you use Zaino, so why use something that won't give you as good of results.
